Case Study: a global industrial manufacturing group achieves cloud cost control with FinOps on Azure from Nordcloud

Global Industrial Manufacturing Group cuts cloud waste 10x with Nordcloud

A global industrial manufacturing group struggled with rising and uncontrolled Azure cloud costs due to highly autonomous teams and a complex, error-prone internal billing system. They engaged Nordcloud to implement FinOps practices to improve cost transparency and establish financial governance.

Nordcloud assigned a dedicated FinOps expert who stabilized the billing process, implemented an Azure reservation strategy, and introduced automation to shut down unused resources. This solution achieved significant annual cost savings, a tenfold reduction in unused disks, and improved billing accuracy. Nordcloud's work also fostered a cultural shift, making cost management a shared responsibility across the organization.
